About Capilano College EAP Department

The EAP Department at Capilano University offers a variety of courses at six levels (EAP 050 to EAP 100/101) from intermediate to academic English preparatory levels. The courses focus on all skills — speaking and listening, reading and vocabulary, and grammar and writing.

Mission Statement
The mission of the English for Academic Purposes Program is to train second-language learners of English with the necessary linguistic, academic, and cultural abilities for success at Capilano University or other post-secondary institutions.

This goal fits within the mission of Capilano University:

“Capilano University is a teaching-focused university offering a wide range of programs and services that enable students to succeed in their current studies, in their ongoing education, in their chosen careers, in their lifelong pursuit of knowledge, and in their contribution as responsible citizens in a rapidly changing and diverse global community.”

At the EAP 050, EAP 060, EAP 070 and EAP 080 levels, students study English for a total of 20 hours per week. Courses are generally scheduled Monday through Thursday, but some courses may be scheduled on Fridays. All courses are 15 weeks long and are usually available in the Fall, Spring, and Summer terms. Students must acheive a B average (73%) to move from one level to the next.
